Yogarupa Rod Stryker – Secrets of the Sutras Online: Light on Self-Mastery

The Secrets of the Sutras online training unlocks the hidden wisdom and practices of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, the seminal text that threads together the diverse teachings of Yoga. Learn and experience from master teacher Rod Stryker, how the Yoga Sutra is so much more than “the eight limbs”. Access the hidden teachings that illuminate the ultimate path for practitioners and teachers wishing to experience or be able to share the authentic heart of Yoga.

As human beings, our supreme potential unfolds in the state of Yoga. This state is the revelation of perfect clarity, limitless intelligence, lasting peace, and freedom in action. Yoga practice – culminating in the heights of wisdom and compassion – can be defined as those processes that enable us to become what in our heart of hearts we aspire to be. Written around 200 C.E., Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra defines the journey of yoga more clearly and systematically than any text before or after.

The Secrets of the Sutras online course is based on a 40-hour, 5-day training and is comprised of 103 videos organized into 24 chapters. It counts fully toward the ParaYoga Master Training Program.

The transcendent wisdom of the Yoga Sutra integrates the sciences of awakening body, mind, breath, soul, spirit, and creator. The word ‘sutra’ means “thread”. The text is called the Yoga Sutra because it threads together all the diverse teachings of Yoga into a single body of knowledge. While the Yoga Sutra is intended to be practical, its scope and precision require the guidance of a teacher that can reveal its subtle and hidden power.

Study of the Sutras accelerates the journey of personal growth as it deepens understanding of the Divine potential of Yoga and of life itself. By illuminating the practices, challenges, purpose and potential of Yoga as a spiritual journey, the Yoga Sutra maps the path to realizing life’s most precious treasures.
